Matthew 8:25-26, Nehemiah 9:15

Matthew 8:25-26
25 They woke him and cried, “Lord save us! We are lost!” 26 But Jesus answered, “Why are you so afraid, you of little faith?” Then he stood up and ordered the wind and sea; and it became completely calm.

Beloved, often in these last weeks, sorrow and fear have overwhelmed us and we cling to You  recognising that only You have the power to save.  You who ordered the wind and the sea to be still, can also restore to order and health the disease that has stealthily entered Sandy's body like a thief in the night and it is working its evil.  But You are Lord, the Son of the Living God - all authority in heaven, on earth and in the under world has been given to You.  We believe and we shall be saved.

Nehemiah 9:15
15 You gave them bread from heaven and told them to satisfy their hunger; you made water gush forth from the rock to quench their thirst, and commanded them to go and take possession of the land which you had sworn to give them.
I thrill at the words of the prophet O Lord, for they are words addressed to You Eternal Word in whom we can confidently place all our trust.  Rock of all Ages just as water gushed forth to quench the thirst of Your people when Moses struck to rock, so water gushed from You when death was permitted to smite You and Your side was pierced and water gushed forth which brings life, new life to Your people.
Bread of Life sustain and strengthen Sandy.
